It's not an embedded Linux distribution– it creates a custom one for you

The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture. Read more

Testimonials

Together, we cooperate to standardize a common framework for creating embedded distributions, giving our customers the possibility to make powerful Linux based solutions with global support, retaining freedom of choice without vendor lock-in.

The Yocto Project brings rapid open source innovation, and allows developers to implement highly interoperable Linux projects for a variety of platforms. Wind River Linux enables customers to capitalize on these developments, adding the reliable global support and long-term maintenance that comes from a leading commercial-grade embedded Linux platform.

The Yocto Project will take ease-of-design to the next level. The alignment with OpenEmbedded will drastically increase open source collaboration efforts and make it easier than ever to promote Linux in embedded systems as well as deliver a positive and improved end developer experience.

Linux is paving the way for the future of computing and embedded computing is at the very core of that future. The Linux Foundation and its members are accelerating this future by bringing open source communities together on a common set of goals. The alignment of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded is one big step towards that future.

The Yocto Project represents a massive collaboration among the embedded Linux community's most important stakeholders including the OpenEmbedded community. Our active investment of technical resources and participation in the Yocto Project will deliver a common technology that will help unify the Linux user community.

The Yocto Project is helping bring together contributors from the OpenEmbedded community and many other important, upstream projects. Together these projects bring additional force to the advancement of embedded Linux devices.
